== Census-designated places ==

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who is rubbed the wrong way by calling towns, villages and neighborhoods census-designated places. I find it insulting and demeaning. This all started when [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] use his [[User:rambot|rambot]] to change every article about a town or village in the U.S. to read something like "Pine Valley is a census-designated place". I've been changing articles as I come across them. See my "neighborhood" [[Bostonia, California]] for an example (if some TLA zealot hasn't reverted my edits).

Your edits to the Pepin Garcia article have been an improvement to the POV. I noticed on the talk page that you mentioned how the information about the man is scattered on the internet, but it would be very helpful if you cited more sources, especially for statements that could be challenged. All information on Wikipedia must be verifiable, so it would be good to cite things like "his skills as a blender and manufacturer continue to be in high demand" or anything else describing his accomplishments.

I'm working on that, but it is time-consuming, because you get a little snip here and a little snip there, usually in cigar reviews or in retail catalogue entries. The main problem is that the man has gone from an unknown to a "star" in the cigar world so fast that the "biographers" haven't caught up with him.

Census-designated places

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who is rubbed the wrong way by calling towns, villages and neighborhoods census-designated places. I find it insulting and demeaning. This all started when Ram-Man use his rambot to change every article about a town or village in the U.S. to read something like "Pine Valley is a census-designated place". I've been changing articles as I come across them. See my "neighborhood" Bostonia, California for an example (if some TLA zealot hasn't reverted my edits).
